PATRICIA BALLANTYNE STAFF WRITER Washington and Lee decision makers have hesitated to make a minor calendar change that would protect students’ safety, despite advocat- ing change in other recent issues that have been in the limelight. Last year, Cullum Owings died in a car acci- dent on his return to school after Thanksgiving. The traffic of I-81 on the busy Sunday after Thanksgiving predominantly contributed to his death. , The Washington and Lee administration has focused on calendar issues other than this, such as spring term and the faculty teaching load and de- laying students’ return from Thanksgiving break has largely been ignored. Several administrators ini- tially reacted toCullum’s accident by talk of delaying students’ re- We agreed that the safety consideration is important but could be handled by students returning on Saturday ASmNGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY NG-TUM T/re rtr/derri mice of War/rirgton and Lee Urrirerrin time 7897 After accident, administration may rethink student break time Dittman said that starting school on a Wednesday “doesn’t help those departments (sci- ences, music) which really need that Monday after Thanksgiving, especially because of the end—of- term activities which can’t be accommodated merely by adding a day in September.” Provost Williams mentioned a possible T‘ues- day through Saturday week after Thanksgiving break as another alternative. “We have done this in the past” he said, when students returned very early in January from Christmas Break. According to Provost Wiliarns, student con- cerns and suggestions are appreciated, but the most efficient method would be through an orga- nized group, “This is not a closed issue.” Some colleges have adapted their schedules so that students avoid the horrible traffic on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. VMI begins classes on that Tuesday. Baptist Bible Colege and Semi- nary in Pennsylvania also begins on turn. Former Provost Boetsch S "mesday Mmigan University in mi- asked SCOH Dittman. the Regis- D nois changed their schedule to start trar and previous head of the Re g- UNTVER-WIYREGUTRAR classes at 4 pm on Monday after two istration and Class Schedule Committee, to determine if a change was possible. The committee discussed calendar changes in emails, but they made no de- cision and never presented the issue to the fac- ulty. “We recommended that the Provost not consider a change to the calendar,” said Dittman. “We agreed that the safety consideration is important but could be handled by students returning on Saturday.” Provost Williams sees lots of options that could prevent students from returning on the heavily traveled Sunday after Thanksgiving. One simple alternative would move the beginning of school from Thursday to Wednesday and start classes after Thanksgiving break on Tuesday. Stu- dents would still have the same number of classes. students died while returning to cam- pus the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Vfith so many cars on the road, driving is dan- gerous anywhere the Sunday after Thanksgiving, but the poor conditions on I-81 make this trip more risky for W&L students. I-81 is one of the top eight truck routes in the U.S. Instead of the intended 15 percent truck traffic, trucks now represent 20 percent to 40 per- cent of the traffic in various areas. a _ Specifically, the Salem and Roanoke portion of I-81 carries 50,000 to 52,000 vehicles daily, 2_1 percent of which are large trucks. ‘The traffic worsens closer to W&L. From Roanoke to the I-64 juncture in Lexington, truck congestion rises to 32 percent, and it increases two percent more on the overlapping I-81 and I-64 section.

This non—profit organization concerns itself with “the welfare of all animals, both domestic and wild, in the community.” Like many other local shelters, Rockbridge’s SPCA receives no state fimding. However, local fimd- Because of all the coon hunting and bear hunting the county, we get a large number of Any animal over 5 years of age very seldom finds an adoptive home and may be put down to prevent overcrowding. Khady Mbaye, ‘05, co-founder of a new W&L group meant to organize aid for the SPCA, said, “Everything possible is done to avoid having to put the dogs down. For example, some dogs are given obedience training.” Cornett, who has worked at the shelter since it occupied its former location in downtown Lexing- ton, has grown accustomed to the effect of the area’s culture on the facility. “Because of all the coon hunt- ing and bear hunting the county, we get a large num- ber of hounds...about 65% of our dogs,” she said. Since the SPCA depends on help from the public, there are several opportunities to support the center. hounds Donations are always accepted, and for $25 patrons JANE CORNETI‘ may choose to sponsor a pet’s webpage with their SPCA _ gift. In fact, the SPCA’s home site is maintained by ing from Lexington, Buena Vista, and Rockbridge County covers approximately 75% of its functioning cost. Its services include public education, sheltering unwanted or stray animals, animal adoption, enforcement of county ordinances, and “humane disposition” of unadopted or injured animals. SPCA is a member of the Virginia Federation of Humane Societ- ies, which includes nearly all local shelters and SPCAs as well as newer ‘trap-spay-release’ programs designed to limit the prolifera- tion of the wild cat population. 940 dogs and 1161 cats were brought to the shelter last year. Only 72% of dogs and 18% of cats were adopted or returned to their owners. The only requirements for adoption are a 24-hour waiting period and state-mandated neutering. The neutering, along with vaccinations and worming, is included in a $50 adoption fee. Last year, 1,066 animals were humanely destroyed. The shelter does not keep unhealthy, wild, pregnant animals, or any animals that have been brought in because of behavioral problems such as biting. Pro-Bone-O: W&L Law Students for Happy Animals. According to Pro’-Bone-O founder Michael Adamson, the group updates rockbridgespca.org every month and also holds fundraisers for the shelter. Adamson estimates that Pro- Bone-O has raised $2000 among the law community since its concep- tion in 2001. Bethany Catron, ‘O5, a Service Day volunteer, was impressed with the organization. “The SPCA workers do a great job of dealing with the constant influx of animals,” she said. “Almost all of the animals I saw would make wonderful pets.” Sara Duckworth, ‘06, “just showed up on a whim?’ to volunteer. ‘‘It seemed like a great idea,” said Duckworth. “I loved it and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.” Volunteers may bathe and exercise animals whenever the center is open. “They can definitely use all the help they can get,” said Catron. The Rockbridge County SPCA is located off Route 1 1 at 10 Animal Place. Washington and Lee’s Hidden Heroes: Senior Brandon Waddell, is the first of a series in The Ring-tum Phi’s regular feature, ‘Hidden Heroes’ Brandon Waddell ’04 is a student who’s had countless achievements and been involved with several organizations in and out of the university in several different forms. Waddell is an En- glish/Theatre double major, and is currently working on honors theses for both. Freshmen may remember him as the illustrious “Reefer Man”, from orientation week’s Life.‘ Pieces of the Puzzle presen- tation; upper- classmen prob- ably know him from one of the many performances he has been in, including Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde, Spinning into Butter, and the yearly performances of Stonewall Country done at the Lime Kiln Theater. Waddell is also a chamber singer, involved in the Mustache Society, and performs in a local folk rock band. He describes him- self as, “not your average fellow.” Waddell wrote his first poem at age six and has been actively occupied with this art form ever since. He describes his entry into acting starting as a way to pur- sue a girl, and eventually found that he really enjoyed it. Waddell camevto Washing- ton and Lee with the desire to be a theatre major, but originally he had planned to double—major in history and not English. ABA competition at law school in Nov Washington and Lee’s School of Law will be hosting the American Bar Association’s Regional Negotiation Com- petition on November 15-16. The Competi- tion is intended to help students develop practical legal skills. In this competition, teams of two stu- dents will be given the opportunity to suc- cessfully resolve a sports law problem. The November event will bring 40 stu- dents from 10 law schools across the South- east to W&L’s School of Law, as well as almost 40 local and area attorneys to judge the three rounds. HIDDEN HEROES JORDAN ANDERsON’07 Despite the change, he still enjoys history and mentions the Chinese and Japanese History courses he took here with Pro- fessor Jeans to have been some of his favorite classes. He also mentioned Professor’ Wheeler’s Modern Poetry class as a favorite. When asked about what he likes and dislikes about W&L, he asserted that the most impressive thing he had noticed was that there are “really tal- ented professors who know what they are talking about,” and he encourages ev- eryone to take at least one class in every department to get a feel for the diversity of studies and to broaden one’s horizons. He also mentioned, however, that in his four years many as- pects of W&L life still resemble that of “high school without par- ents.” Waddell’s long-terrn goals are to attend graduate school and eventually become a profes- sor and writer. His upcoming future goals consist of completing his two theses and his rigorous course load this term, and then prepar- ing for study abroad with the Thomas J . Watson Fellowship, a competitive program that awards and allows students to study for a year and work on istration. intentionally left blank.

Its participants are merely unbiased mediators; they are there to assist those who are victims of discrimination, ha- rassment, and sexual miscon- duct, and those who are ac- cused of it. According to the CAIR website, it can assist students in understanding the University’s policy regarding discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct; it helps explain your options for further action; facilitate communica- tion between the accused and the accuser; and provide dis- pute resolution services. Examples of acts qualify- ing for CAIR assistance could include everything from unwel- come comments by a professor to alleged discrimination when applying for a University-spon- sored job to a conduct by a University employee that makes a student feel uncomfortable. CAIR is not meant to re- place the Student-Faculty Hearing Board, University mediators, the deans, the resi- dence life staff, or any other University resource. Instead, its aim is to be an impartial, confidential third-party source. Its partici- pants have been selected to represent a broad array of the University community, with the goal being that th'ere should be at least one person who is a CAIR contact whom a student feels comfortable getting in touch with. The Head of CAIR Re- source is C. Elizabeth Belmont, a law professor, and there are 9'other resource contacts, including two non- faculty members. Anyone who wishes to obtain further information on the CAIR program, or who wants to discuss an is- sue applicable to the CAIR program, should call 458- 5800. Alternatively, for those wishing to directly contact a CAIR participant to initiate the complaint resolution pro- cess, they can see the list of participants at http:// campuslife.wlu.edu/ Student%2OAffairs/ cair_resources.htm, or refer to the posters located around campus. you. Sincerely, Helen Hughes Dear Washington and Lee Community, There seems to be some confusion and questions on how the Executive Committee of the Student Body determined the suc- cession of officers. The procedure came from the EC’s Consti- tution. The last time it was a public document was in 1996. The Constitution has never been repealed. In a time that we needed it most, the Executive Committee turned to it. The Constitution reads, “In the event that the President of the Student Body leaves during the year, the Vice President shall take his place and the Secretary shall move to fill the Vice- President’s spot. The Senior Representative who received the most votes during the general election shall become Secretary. The order of succession specified above shall apply for the positions of Vice President and Secretary of the Student Body.” In accordance with the succession of officers, Anne J ohansen ‘O5, previously Executive Committee Secretary, is now the Vice President. Cullen Carter ’04, previously a Senior Class Repre- sentative to the Executive‘Cominittee, is now the Secretary. There will be a class election on Tuesday, October 28, for one Senior Class Representative to complete the Committee. The Constitution is currently under review by the Executive Committee. We plan on having an open forum to hear any input the community may have before amending the docu- ment. I hope this clears up the confusion and questions.

For the alumni-focused events, shuttles are offered to all points. There is convenient transportation pro- vided by The University. During Par- ents’ Weekend, however, this is not the case. The University must begin pro- viding transportation around Lexington during Parents’ Weekend. Parents are unquestionably an in- tegral part of the school’s budget. They pay tuition and take active roles in the lives of their children. Why can’t the school spring for some type of shuttle system for the event? May we sug- gest the tennis bus, parked by the Duchossois Tennis Center for the weekend? The higher-ups pull it out for the Board of Trustees and the Al- ums. The parents are just as vital to the school as those constituencies. There would be fewer parents given DUIs if The University would step up to the plate on this issue. Trav- eller is not designed for the influx of parents that this weekend brought. It can barely handle the undergraduate campus. We are sure that many par- ents may have needed the system as a result of their good-times, but it needed to be shored up by something else. Though we have no concrete numbers to back us up, we have heard that the administration pays less for Parents’ Weekend than Homecoming or Alumni Weekend. One main reason for the discrepancy is the lack of a University sponsored shuttle system. Quite simply, a shuttle system would relieve strain on the City of Lex- ington during this Washington and Lee event and keep‘ studentsnand parents safer and happier. ‘ “Let us at all times remember that regardless ofparty, are brothers and sisters of a common country, and shOI11d dwell togetherinthe bonds offratemal feeling,” ~Abraham Lincoln, 16th President Of the United States "’,‘5HlE'i<3'1--.'\' my LE5 l.IsIIIr.:.oris FDIIOR FMAll:HYlAND]@WllJ.EDU MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2003 'l'l~liE Rl:‘\‘%{-;~’l'lfl\'£ Pia PORTS PAGE 5 Soccer teams keep seasons alive in ODAC tournament Generals get back on tra JOHN HYLAND ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR The up and down season for the W&L men's soccer team continues. After starting the season undefeated in their first eight games, the Generals then lost their next five. The Generals needed a win against Emo ry and Henry in Lexington on Wednes- day to guarantee them a spot in the ODAC tourna- ment. The Generals responded to the challenge. They wasted no time in taking advantage of the last-place Wasps (1-14-2, 0-8 ODAC) scoring just 1:01 into the game when Sophomore Derrick Lott connected on a feed from fellow midfielder Jacob Stoehr. It was the senior’s team leading fourth as- sist of the season. The Generals would score twice more in the next 15 minutes to extend their lead when E&H scored on their own goal and junior midfielder Justin Mygatt’s tally just minutes later. W&L would round out the first half scoring on a goal from junior midfielder Josh Grahe off an assist from freshman forward Sandy Pircacci at the 28:37 mark. With the Generals getting all the offense that they would needin the first half, they were able to focus on the defensive end of the game in the sec- ond half, forcing sophomore goalkeeper Michael Stanton to only have to make one save for the game. The Generals did get a goal from sophomore midfielder Walker Nickels to round out the scoring and earn a 5-0 victory. VV1th the win, the Generals qualified for the ODAC tournament as the seventh seed in the eight team tournament. W&L traveled to Roanoke on Saturday to face the second seeded Maroons. The Generals lost to Roanoke in the teams’ regular sea- son meeting, 2-1, in the game that started W&L’s five game slide. Despite playing on the road and being the underdog to the Maroons, who entered the game with a 10-3-3 overall record, the Generals took a 1-0 lead into halftime. The lone goal came on an unassisted strike from freshman midfielder Kyle Garcia with 15 minutes left in the first half. The Generals tightened up defensively in the second half and maintained their lead until 2:44 left in regu- lation when Roanoke midfielder Donny Smith ck against Emory& Henry CORBIN BLACKFORD RING-TUM PHI Enema our THE COMPETITION. The men’s soccer team extended its season with a win over Emory & Henry. scored off a free kick that bounced off a couple W&L defenders before giving Smith the chance to beat Stanton. Neither team could find the net through two overtime periods and the game went into penalty kicks. Stanton came up huge in the PK session. After making 5 saves during regulation and overtime, he stopped two Roanoke shots to give the Generals a 3-1 advantage and the victory. The Generals prevailed in'an extremely physical game in which 48 fouls were whistled and seven Cam and Hyland0’s CAMERON GARNER STAFF WRITER yellow cards were issued. The Generals were also out shot 13-6 and forced Roanoke keeper Harper Thorsen to only have to make one save. Neverthe- less, W&L took advantage of the few scoring op- portunities that they had, something they have been inconsistent in doing this season. Apparently having reverted to their early sea- son form, the Generals (8-5-2) will try to avenge another regular season loss as they will play Guilford in Greensboro on Friday in the semi—finals.

From the start, this game seemed destined to follow the same script as that of two years ago: the Gen- erals’ defense looked strong after giv- ing up an early score, leaving them down a mere 7-3 at the half. Ben Long’s school record—tying 47-yard field goal gave W&L the lone score, but the team had held an incredibly potent offense, led by junior QB Brandon Wakefield (17- 28, TD, 2 INT), and the rushing of sophomore Marcus Washington (14 car. 85 yds. TD) to one score. As the defense finished off a great first half with a Robert Foster intercep- tion late in the second quarter, the of- fense came out looking to take the lead. On the first play of the drive, however, Bridgewater got the ball right back on an interception by Steward White. They drove the ball down, missing the field goal as the first half came to a close. The Generals had held the talented Bridgewater team to one score.
